Sup d00ds. Got a lil problem and hope I can figure it out with the help from you guys.

When I go over a speed bump(not goin fast or anything) I hear a popping noise mostly from my passenger side wheel it seems. Sometimes when I make a turn. Only have noticed it when I make left turns. Any idea's?

Dang. I got a homie that's parting out a gsr. Do the axels matter if its from a manual or auto. Cus his is manual and mines an autotrajic

i dont recall about using auto or manual axles.. i know you could use abs axles on non-abs tho..
make sure to check if your cv boots are busted tho.. if they're ripped, you'll need to replace.

Yeah coy my cv boots are ripped so I think you hit the nail on the head. Fuck it. How hard is it to replace them.

jack up car, remove wheel, unbolt the lower ball joint, separate the lca, remove the 32mm axle nut, hammer out old axle from spindle, pop off old axle from tranny, pop in new axle into tranny, slide spindle on new axle, reconnect lca to lower ball joint reinstall wheel, drop car. may have to refill tranny fluid. but not much.

it literally is just like that.

same way for driver side, but you gotta unbolt the half shaft from the block and separate the axle and half shaft.

^pretty much summed it up. Its not too hard. It should be easy peasy if you have the tools :thumbs up.

I wouldnt condemn the axles for popping over bumps... i have the same problem... and its because every bushing in the front is is so worn out they look like pancakes... flat and cracked and old.... so my popping noise is coming from the lower control arm i think.... its moving around cuz the bushings are shot.... plus the sway bar link bushings are way shot too... could be either.

X2 cv axles usually only make noise when you turn but it sounds like you need them anyway. Check the front bushings, sway bar end links, strut mounts and anything else you can see.
good luck

the thing is i replaced my bushings twice already. i asked a mechanic if something is wearing them down fast but he was charging me 50$ to find out.
